Building a More Livable Community

Earlier tonight, Johnson County hosted a community dialogue about building a more livable community. There was a great crowd of about 50 people discussing how to continue to be the place for everyone to live and prosper.

About eleven years ago, the Board of Supervisors listened to community activists and created the Livable Community for Successful Living Policy Board. For over a decade many volunteers on the policy board and various action teams have worked to create a more livable county. They have led on many innovations, outreach and educational events. They were so ahead of the times, that the county owns the domain name livablecommunity.org

After all of these many activities and successes, now is a great time to reach out and gather more input and volunteers. We all know Johnson County is a great place to live, work, play and retire, but we can't just bask in our best of awards. We must constantly ask how we can be a more livable, more welcoming and more caring. We are hitting the road with this community dialogue, so if your group, board, etc. needs a speaker, please let us know.
